Chef's Note & Story

This will not work for small crock pots!
You can add so much to this recipe.
The taco seasoning is not super hot.
Play with the amount of seasoning and the chilies if you want a milder version.
You can add chopped zucchini, chopped celery etc...
Spice it up even more with Tabasco Sauce if desired
